To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHANCELLOR Terran, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of Thornhill, in the Province of. Mani- 5 toba, in the Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Writers Cabinets, of which t e following is a full, clear, and exact specification.

This'invention relates to certain new and i useful improvements in writers cabinets or devices for use upon a desk for holding writing materials, ink-bottles, mucilage-bottles, pens, and pencils and other materials; and it as for its objects, among others, to provide yet efficient desk-holder in Which-the inkottle may be retained in osition for use without danger of'upsetting, in which the other materials may be securely yet easily detachabl held, making it a very 2o desirable and usefu article, the same being supported upon a detachable base, which may be utilized for the pur ose of holding letters, apers, &c., and yet a 1 of the said materials ein .readily accessible.

Ot er objects and advantages of the invention will be hereinafter more particularly described and the novel features thereof will be specifically defined' by the a pended claims. The invention is clearly i lustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the numerals of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved device. Fig. 2 is a substantially (fien- 1g. 3 is a perspective view of a somewhat different form of device. Fig. 4 is a perspective detail of a portion of the device seen in Fig. 8. Like numerals of reference, indicate like 0 parts thoughout the several views.

Referring now to the details of the drawings, 1 designates a detachable base of any sultable material, preferably sheet metal, al though any other sufficiently rigid material formed with the parallel upturned sides 2 2, with the inwardlyextending flanges 3 3, as seen clearly in Fig. 1. This box-like base or frame is open at one end and closed at the other, as best seen in 50 Fig. 2, and is thus adapted for the reception and retention of letters, papers, or other articles as will be readily understood. Detachab l y and adjustably mounted. on this base is -the other portion of the device, which porting member 4, the substantially vertica or it maybe slightly inclined, member 5,. having portions thereof stamped out and adapted to form rests 6 for penholders or pencils, as seen clearly in Fig. 1, the lower end of this member having slits 7 upon its opposite sides, as seen in Fig. 1, to receive the flanges 3 of the base, so that the same may be slidingly' and detachably mounted on the base, as will be readily understood from Fig. 1. In the lower portion of this wall or member 5 is an opening in which is fitted to slide a drawer 8, having a suitable handle or the like 9, by whichit may be drawn orpulled out or pushed in. This drawer is supported on the base portion 10 of the upper portion of the device, which latter is formed of a single piece'of material bent and formed into the sha eshown, having the top portions 11 and 12 or a purpose hereinafter described and the inclined walls 13 and 14 extending upward and inwardly from the member .4, as seen clearly in Fig. 2, and joined at their upper ends to the horizontal portions 11 and 12. The wall 15 is also integral with the other portions of the upper part of the device, and the lower edge thereof is secured to the base portion 10 by suitable clips 16, stamped from the same and engaged in suitable openings'in the said base portion, as seen in Fig. 2. The other ed e of the base portion 10 has rising therefromt 1e ortion 17, which is bent forward horizontal y to form the top wall 18 and thence bent backward upon itself to form the top Wall 19 and thence rearward and upward, forming the member 20, which has its upper end bent over and downward to form the spring member 21,

which with the rear wall forms a holder for blotters, papers, letters, or any other articles that it may be desired to place therein.

22 is a drawer fitted to slide within the space formed by the inclosin walls above described, the walls 18 and 19 eing fastened to the wall 15 by suitable clips 23, stamped therefrom, as indicated in Fig. 2. The rear Wall 20 is stamped. out to form the spring member 24, which may be employed for holding papers or the like, if desired.

25 is a handle pivotally attached to the top walls 11 and 12 in any suitable manner and serving as a means by which the upper ortion oi the device may be moved from p ace to place.

' The bottles 26 are inserted from the end and their necks are held by the elastic portions, and the inclined walls serve to prevent their being accidentally displaced, thebase by suitable means39 and t tachably engaged beneath struck-up lugs 40,

portion or member 4 being provided at the ends with the upwardly-extending flanges 2.7,

as seen in Figsel and 2, to prevent endwise dis lacement of the bottles, as will be'readiiy 5 un erstood.

In the form shown in Fig. 3 the base 28 has the upturned portions 29 and 30 to form the receptacles 31 and. 32, the side walls 33 having the stamped-out portions forming rests 1o 34 for the penholders and the like, the top 35 being provided with an opening 36 for the reception of the neck of the bottles and springwires 37 and 38 being 'arran said Opening, as seen, hein eld at one end e other ends deso that they-1naybe readily disengaged to alloW of the insertion or removal of the neck of the bottle, as will be readily understood. 20 The bottom is formed by the plate 411, having the, upwardly-extending ridge 42, upon which the bottom of the bottle is designed to rest when a single bottle is em loyed centrally or to serve as a division-wall between two bot- 2 5 tles when two are used. From this late 41 rise the end portions 43, having ea-c r a plurality of openings 44, designed to receive bendable lugs on the ends of the top. 35, as seen in Fig. 3, the bottle being placed in posio tion with its neck extending throu h the opening 36, and then the bottom p ate is pressed upward and then retained inadjusted position by entering the lugs 45 in the openings 44 and bendin 3 5 hold the bottle against 'splacement.

bottom plate is adjustable to accommodate it to bottles of varying hei hts.

In the form seen in Figs. 1 and '2 the top .ed to traverse them to securely v The ward movement of the upper portion when sliding the saniethereon. v I have. illustrated and described a preferred construction, but obvieusly: many changes could be made withinthe spirit and 45 sco e of my invention. hat is claimed as new is 1.
